Avtex Series 9 Pro: What has been improved?

Those of us with a penchant for online window-shopping have noticed that Avtex have recently launched a new series as part of their Pro TV range, to great acclaim. Understandably, existing Avtex motorhome TV owners and prospective shoppers are curious to see what all the fuss is really about.

If you've been dwelling on the idea of buying one of the three Avtex motorhome TVs in the latest series, we think there's no better time to do so than now. Avtex are notoriously prudent and slow with new releases, so there's no point putting it off.

We can't help but recommend these popular Avtex TVs with 12V/24V DC and 240V AC voltage - ideal for caravans and motorhomes. But just in case you're stuck in brooding mode or you need some reassurance, here's what makes the Avtex Series 9 so much better than its predecessors:

Multi-Tuner Enabled Viewing and Recording
Roll over, other Avtex PROs, because the latest addition to the series features multi-tuner technology. To begin with, the DVB-T2/DVB-S2 tuners will enable you to view HD programmes through either standard aerial or satellite dish without a decoder. But most importantly, it lets you enjoy several sows at the same time.

That's right, Avtex Series 9 will not only allow you to watch your favourite show, but also record your second-favourite one in the background. What's more, it doesn't matter if they're Freeview or satellite channels, because it works across streams, and you can even watch a DVD while you're recording. So, for the first time in your tourer TV viewing history, you absolutely can have your cake and eat it too.

HDMI ARC Port Enabled Connectivity
Unlike older Avtex motorhome TV models, the latest series features improved connectivity. The HDMI ARC port joins forces with the Avtex SB195BT soundbar to give you the most stirring sounds you could imagine. Not to mention the fact that the soundbar is compatible with all previous Avtex TV models, and it can be set up with either coaxial audio or standard audio jacks.

Wider Choice of Sizes
When it comes to TV size, caravan owners who have a bit of room to spare say bigger is better, by all accounts. That's what makes the Avtex L219DRS-PRO 21.5" and the Avtex L249DRS-PRO 24" fine contenders for an upgrade from Series 8. After all, a few inches can make a world of difference when it comes to

But for those of us with hardly any room to swing a cat, or for those who simply want to scale down, the new Avtex L199DRS Pro TV 19.5" Full HD LED Screen makes an even better option. When space is at a premium, opting for a slimmer and smaller TV that can be set up in a recess, flush against the wall or even at an odd angle can make a world of difference.

Design Enhancements
'Don't judge a book by its cover' is an adage we'd normally stand by, but with the Avtex Series 9, you have a carte blanche from us to judge away to your heart's content. Unlike the 8 Series, which, in terms of aesthetics, was basically a rehash of the 7 Series with a slightly different stand, the Avtex 9 Series brings loads more features to the table.

For one thing, the screen bezel is the slimmest we've ever seen for this series. Secondly, the base of the screen is trimmed with a brushed aluminium strip. Let's not overlook the removable stand, which is trimmed with a matching strip to the front. Finally, the slim, lightweight and sleek design gives it a contemporary and more sophisticated look.

Better Remote Control
Don't you just hate it when the TV runs out of juice with no prior warning? Apparently, Avtex have heard our shrieks and sobs, and decided to deck the latest remote controls with a battery indicator. So, when you use a TV from the Avtex 9 Series, the indicator will let you know when the voltage in your battery is low.

Here's another problem Avtex sorted: signal quality. You can now move your TV to and fro without worrying that you'll spend hours fiddling with the aerial. The signal quality button on your remote control will help you zero in on the best position.
